My Statement on the Patrick Brown Allegations

Posted on January 25, 2018

I was shocked and angry to hear about the allegations against Patrick Brown last night. These actions, if true, are especially disturbing from a man in a position of power. Sexual harassment or abuse of any kind is unacceptable. Each of us must stand up against it whenever and wherever it takes place.

I cannot imagine what these women and too many like them have gone through. We owe them our respect, and it’s critical that we listen and stand behind them. Their experiences show us that we must do more.

As we continue to build a better Ontario for everyone, I will do everything I can to be an advocate and ally. It’s important that all Ontarians are safe, respected, and have a voice.
